The Pinnacle was very green and murky on top to around 10 metres, but cleared up nicely to around 15 metre vis on the bottom. Heaps of kingfish and one huge snapper circled around above us as we explored the rocky outcrop. No Grey Nurses (that we saw), however there were heaps of Wobbegongs and a couple of rays.
Latitude Rock was super flat, so we were able to get right in close to the island to explore the inner gutter. No sharks in "The Pit" on the northern side of the island yet, but they were swimming in the Kelp Gutter just off the rock. We spied at least 5 sharks here, one of them close to 4 metres and the biggest shark I've ever seen!
One of the sharks however had around 2 feet of wire trace and a sinker at the end hanging from his mouth. Will take a pair of bolt cutters down and try to cut it off nice and short tomorrow.
The boat is down at Seal Rocks with 15 divers on board while I'm stuck in the shop (lucky things). Will let you guys know what it was like down there.
Just keep swimming!
